Hard to compare Patrick and Ristolainen, but Patrick was 9th on TOI for Flyers forwards last season and was pretty bad in that limited time.
The price paid for Risto might be questionable. But there’s no doubt that A) the Flyers will ice a better roster on opening night, and B) the team dynamic has been changed dramatically (a stated goal of Fletcher).

are they really that much better considering all the picks they gave up? I think if the Flames gave away a bunch of high picks people wouldn't be too impressed that they were marginally better.
Trading 1sts should be reserved for Eichel, Hamilton, type deals...not decent players
